LONDON, June 10.-In the House OF Com
mons this evening MIR. Smith moved the
I, solution previously announced, request
ING that at 10 L. VI. on the 18th instant
The chairman forthwith put the question on
any motion, amendment, or proposal touch
luV the clause Of the crimes bill then under
discussion, then on the clause itself, and,
finally, on each remaining clause. lie urged
hat the step was forced upon the Govern
ment by continued Instructions. II was
absolutely necessary for the dignity and
oIicitncy OF the House that the deliberate

.Eouid bo defeated. Ii wa, now the fourth
Month Of the session, and practically no
Thing bad been done The hole course Of
legislation bad been stopped. The Govern
ncnt desired that due consideration BE- glv-'

II was undoubtedly the duty Of the Govern
mcHt Ia the circumstances, without parallel
~ The history Of Parliament, TO call unon
tire House to take neasuTeS 10 prevent The
minority from setting at defiance the con-
trolling poworOf the majority. II was inn
POSSIBLE for the Government, representing
The majority. to yield to the obstruc-
ton OF the minority. The Cow
eminent might be displaced by
an adverse vote. and then be bound to APP
peal to the country; but while sustained
by The majority OF the House they must
carry on The business OF the country. The
de- ate. over the crimes bill had become
trsycsty. bringing rldicuIe, disgrace, and
contempt upon Parliament. He appealed
10 TIE Housc to support the Government In
Trying TO restore order in their proceed

NJ. Gladstone said that longer notice
Should lave been given OF thi, important
motion. The present state OF business and
tie CnilIc paralysis of Parliament had
caused iuterse dissatisfaction throughout
tie country. But the position had been
brought about by the Government them
selves. TCries OF Hear. Hear - They
bad been pursuing the false and evil policy

REGARDED all the usage> and traditions
Of Parliament I'm the conduct ~ a measure
which they had under the name ofthe crimes
bill Introduced. The measure was directed
AGAINST combination apart from crime.
"Ucari' Heart" H. would suggest to
The Government that the rational mode 10
expedite the bill would be to make II
temporary instead vi permanent and
strike ont all provisions touching
combination apart from crime, assuring
IRISH tenants OF the same protection in re-
rect to their land stri6e~ a j. given Eng

and cries of "NO."1 II the Government
r. iecied that remedy and bad no other 10
propose the offensive character Of the bill
would be retained in inll force. He did
not wi.h to create a difficulty by Offering
opposition. which he knew would he in.
o5tciual. lie would therefore content him
self with PROTESTING against the course now
proposed.
Mr. PANEL said he could not understand
the faiuity OF the Government in rushing
llindiolGtd along road which they had
already seen would lead to the greatest
disorder in Ireland. Government speakers
lad hafped on the theme OF construction"
A. matter Of fact Irish members had not
hiitd one voice against any measure eX.

bound 10 resist to the utmost. The cry o.
al sirucion was not genuine when raised
Iy mon WHO did not desire to advance
Iul lie business. Let The Government pro-
cred wub the real business Of the nation.
instead Of wasting time over crimes bill
applying te nation where crime was adj
niifedly at the minimum.
lie concluded by moving an amendment
that tie House decline to sanction the reso-
luton limiting the freedom OF debate and
assailing The rights OF minorities.
. Several OF the ParnellltcS continued the
discussion. Mr.. Smith moved a clOlure,
which was carried by vote OF Isl to lG7.

vote Of 30l 10 Isl. There is chance
